PATNA: The Patna district administration on Saturday handed over an ex gratia of Rs 4 lakh to the family of 10-year-old Deepak Kumar, who had fallen into an open drain adjacent to a sump house at Punachak on November 17, after rescuers failed to trace the boy even on Saturday.“We have given Rs 4 lakh as ex gratia to the family of the boy as he could not be traced.
